The Holly Blue butterfly Celastrina argiolus is seen in or garden every summer. It rarely settles, making a photograph difficult. These shots are a day or two after a pair were seen mating. This was clearly a female feeding up to supply her bulging load of eggs.
This session, on Goldenrod lasted some 20 minutes. As she rarely opened her wings, the DOF was undemanding so I tried daylight exposure, at f11 (some at f16?). My recent doubts about the IS seemed unjustified from the results. I got a large number of images, with various angles of view and sizes in the frame. I think these have enough merit to post.
EM-1, Kiron 105, aperture priority, ISO 800, 1/160 to 1/400 sec.
